- 1/2 fresh or frozen banana peeled
- 1/2 cup 80 g fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup 33 g frozen cauliflower florets (this adds creaminess and NO flavor, I promise)
- 3/4 cup 180 ml coconut milk or milk of choice
- 1 Tablespoon hemp seeds
- 1 serving collagen peptides
- 1 handful of ice
- Using frozen pineapple and bananas eliminates the need for ice, giving you a thicker, more satisfying smoothie.
- Want more sweetness? Add extra pineapple or a little honey, maple syrup, or stevia.
- If you’re using this as a meal replacement, add a scoop of Greek yogurt, nut butter, or vanilla protein powder.
- For best results, blend in stages. Start with the liquid and frozen items, then add soft ingredients like banana and cauliflower for a smoother consistency.
- Add a big squeeze of lime juice for a bit more tropical tang.
- Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good stir or re-blend before drinking. For long-term storage, pour the smoothie into popsicle molds and freeze for a fun, portable treat.
